January 28, 20196 yr Author That draw seems to have matched all the 'neighbours' together! Cyprus and Greece, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania and Moldova, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine, Ireland, Lithuania and UK, I could go on. Probably the most screwed by that draw is Australia?
